Description¶

The article applies an instructional design model that combines objectivist features (teacher-led face-to-face instruction, defined learning goals, structured lesson plans, assessment aligned with goals) with constructivist features (student-controlled Moodle platforms, group activities for knowledge construction, new media integration, self-assessments). The authors state that "a mixed instructional design model combining both the features of objectivist and constructivist methods of instructing and learning would be a distinctive strategy to be utilized for intensive BL course". The model structured the blended Oriental Music course tested in the experiment.
